AI sets XRP’s price for September 30

AI sets XRP's price for September 30
Paul L.

The price of XRP continues to face uncertainty, with the token consolidating below the $0.60 resistance level.

Although the trading broadly aligns with the overall market sentiment, investors had anticipated that recent developments in the Ripple and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) case would trigger a rally.

In the short term, XRP is experiencing increased selling pressure, coinciding with Ripple’s release of one billion XRP tokens through its escrow process. The transaction occurred in three phases, with 500 million, 200 million, and 300 million XRP tokens released on September 1.

Indeed, the current selling pressure is emerging as legal uncertainty lingers over the SEC’s potential appeal of the recent court ruling. In the decision, the court ordered the blockchain company to pay a $125 million civil penalty, reducing the likelihood of XRP being declared a security.

Amid the possibility of an appeal, the outlook is uncertain, especially if the SEC would have to pay $125 million and statutory interest to Ripple if the appeal fails.

AI predicts XRP price

Given these fundamentals, Finbold turned to artificial intelligence (AI), algorithms, and the cryptocurrency forecasting platform PricePredictions to assess how XRP might trade in the coming weeks. 

According to data retrieved on September 2, the platform projects bearish sentiment for the token, predicting it will likely trade at $0.463, reflecting a 16% drop from the current price at the time of publication.

Notably, the prediction is based on technical analysis (TA) indicators like Bollinger Bands (BB), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and average true range (ATR).

Despite the AI platform’s bearish outlook, cryptocurrency analyst Egrag Crypto suggested in an X post on September 2 that XRP will likely experience a significant rally based on historical price movements.

The expert highlighted the significance of the bullish hammer candlestick (BHC) formations in XRP’s price history. Notably, the first candle led to a staggering price increase of 750%, while the next resulted in a 40% rise. A particularly notable bullish hammer candle formation triggered an astronomical 43,000% gain, and another saw an 80% surge.

With the fifth bullish hammer candle forming, the potential gains remain unknown, but the pattern suggests a promising future. Based on this element, the expert indicated that investors should anticipate the “Bent Fork” high at $17, representing a potential 2,400% increase from the current market price. An even more optimistic target of $27 would imply an extraordinary 5,000% gain.

XRP price analysis 

As of press time, XRP was trading at $0.55, having dropped by 1.4% in the last 24 hours. On the weekly chart, the token has plunged almost 8%.

Based on XRP’s current price movement, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) stands at $0.5778, while the 200-day SMA is at $0.5466. This positioning, where the 50-day SMA is above the 200-day SMA, generally indicates a bullish trend in the medium term.

However, the fact that XRP’s current price is below the 50-day SMA but above the 200-day SMA suggests a period of consolidation with no clear directional momentum.

On the other hand, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 42.96, which is below the neutral level of 50. This slightly bearish reading reflects modest downward momentum but is not extreme enough to signal an oversold condition. 

The RSI remains comfortably away from the oversold and overbought thresholds, implying a lack of strong market conviction in either direction.
